'Connolly, 22, had 12 goals and 13 assists in 80 games last season. Acquired with Pyatt in the June 2001 deal that sent former captain Michael Peca to the New York Islanders, Connolly had the third-longest consecutive games streak before he was suspended for a high-sticking incident against Atlanta's Garnet Exelby.'
